I've written about The Record Bar<\/a>, Budget Tapes & Records<\/a>, and Coconuts Music<\/a>. School Kids<\/i> is yet another record store that isn't around anymore.<\/p>\n

As I recall it, the Harden Street location was in the same block and on the same side of the road as the old Eckerds and that hot-dog place that used to be at the corner of Harden and Greene. I can only definitely remember going there once, while I was living on campus in the early 80s. In those days, I had very little money given that I had no job and was on the \"ticket book\" plan for meals, so my usual destination when I would go record shopping was Papa Jazz<\/i> used store, and after that, Peaches<\/i>. I can only recall School Kids<\/i> in kind of a negatively-defined way. I just remember thinking something like Hey, this place isn't as good as Peaches<\/i>. It was certainly a smaller store than peaches, I remember that for sure. As for the other, who knows what I would think nowdays? My tastes have certainly expanded, and the store must have had something to keep it going a block from Peaches. (Although I suppose in the end, neither chain did..)<\/p>\n

I see from the Yellow Pages ad that there was also a Main Street location. I don't believe I ever visited that one. Mapquest says it's in the first block of Main, near and on the same side of the street as the old Capitol Restaurant<\/a>. I'm a little fuzzy on what's in that block now, but it wouldn't surprise me if the building were gone. At any rate School Kids<\/i> has long since graduated from this vale of tears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
